Short question.
When USE_TZ is set to true, the framework prepares the datetime into a timezone aware string for use in json, but also for use in the HTML interface.
This results in an HTML input tag with a value that includes the timezone offset, for value="1978-12-28T19:00:00+01:00", but datetime-local does not officially support a timezone. Firefox 'works', it just displays the string with timezone part. Chrome fails, it leaves the input field empty.

Since datetime-local should not include a timezone, I suppose this is a 'bug' in the Django REST framework.
Or maybe I'm doing something wrong?
Anyone encountered this problem?
